FIFA U-15 W/Cup & Festival: Future Eagles Record Third Straight Draw After 3-3 Thriller With Gambia

Nigeria’s Future Eagles are still searching for their first win at the inaugural FIFA U-15 World Cup & Festival after being held to a third successive draw, this time a 3-3 thriller against The Gambia in Baku, Azerbaijan on Sunday evening.

The Future Eagles came into the evening game after a 3-3 draw with South Sudan on Saturday and a 2-2 deadlock with Jordan on Sunday morning, leaving them with two points.

Against their West African rivals at the Hovsan Competition Complex, the Future Eagles again showed attacking firepower but could not hold on defensively in the eight-a-side format (two 20-minute halves).
